1902

Harvey Seltzer, an ambitious butcher, mastered a unique blend of spices and 100% beef, along with a 3-day natural hardwood smoking process that helped create the world of Lebanon Bologna in Lebanon County Pennsylvania.

Nestled in the gentle rolling hills of Pennsylvania Dutch country, the Seltzer family carefully guards the secret to producing our beloved smoked meats. Our savory creations originated in the 19th century as resourceful Pennsylvania Germans incorporated Old World butchering, curing, and sausage making skills into life on Lebanon County farms.

OUR SMOKEHOUSES

At Seltzer’s Smokehouse, where the smell of smoldering wood and perfectly cured meats permeate the air, quality control is an integral facet of our operations. Years ago, when the Federal Government began inspecting meat-packing plants, Seltzer’s was the very first federally inspected Lebanon Bologna company in the country. Now, we are one of the oldest continually USDA-inspected operations in the United States.

Today, we are 4th generation owned and still a permanent fixture in the small town of Palmyra, PA. Generations of families have worked here through the years, many of which have been with us for 20, 30, 40, and even 50 years. We are proud of our team and of our neighbors and we continue to generously give back to the community that has supported us for so long.

Attesting to our reputation for excellence, all of Seltzer’s smoked meats are prepared with typical Pennsylvania Dutch quality and pride. In Lebanon County, where “good food and plenty of it” has long been a way of life, Seltzer’s has become an American tradition.
